Content overview: “Sri Lanka Stun England with Second-Highest ODI Chase Despite Brook’s Record 202”. Harry Brook smashed the fastest double hundred in ODI history, but England still fell short as Sri Lanka pulled off the second-highest successful run chase in one-day internationals in Rawalpindi. Brook’s blistering 202 off 124 balls powered England to a mammoth 429, yet Sri Lanka reached 430 with one ball to spare. Pavan Rathnayake led the reply with 130, while Avishka Fernando and Dasun Shanaka each scored 97, with Shanaka hitting eight sixes in a brutal counterattack.
Sri Lanka were 24 for 2 early, but the trio turned the game around in stunning fashion. England fought back late, but Janith Liyanage sealed the win with a six. The chase is second only to South Africa’s famous 438-run pursuit against Australia in 2006. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
